7.5 "Cam disk" - Technology DB
The DB is described in the integrated technology section and is read-only in the
STEP 7 user program.
The DB is non-retentive, irrespective of the retentivity setting of the CPU.
Variable ErrorID
Shows the ErrorID of the last error or warning detected at the cam disk.
An error message can be acknowledged by calling FB 402 "MC_RESET"
(with Axis = number of the technology DB).
Variable ErrorBuffer[0..2]
Buffer for the first three errors and warnings. The first error is written to ARRAY
element 0, the second to ARRAY element 1, etc.
This content of the buffer can be cleared by calling FB 402 "MC_RESET"
(with Axis = number of the technology DB).
